The Heartache Can Wait
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You're talking about leaving
It's right about Christmas time
Thinking about moving on
I think I might die inside
I'm thinking about years gone by
I'm thinking about church at midnight
I'm thinking about letting go
I think that might finally be alright
But this is where we shine
Silver bells and open fire
And songs we used to sing
One more chance to be inspired
Is what I'm offering
If love is not enough
Then stay with me because
The heartache can wait
It's not about hanging on
It's making my deal with God
If I could call one last truce
We've given it all we've got
Then I'm gonna catch my breath
And make it a long December
If we've got nothing left
This could be worth remembering
With a smile upon my face
Silver bells and open fire
And songs we used to sing
One more chance to be inspired
Is what I'm offering
If love is not enough
Then stay with me because
Silver bells and open fire
And songs we used to sing
One more chance to be inspired
Is what I'm offering
If love is not enough
Then stay with me because
The heartache can wait
